The Biggest Little Farm follows the journey of a hippie-minded Californian couple who are evicted from their apartment because they are bad neighbors who let their dog bark non-stop. Someone gives them a bunch of money to start a hippie farm where all of nature will coexist in perfect harmony, another person tells them how to do everything because they are not farmers and don't know anything, and still more people do the actual farming for them.
You will not learn anything about their farming process, anything about their lives, or even anything about the subjects that the film does focus on. Each thread of attention is dropped before resolution in favor of another rambling motivational speech about how amazing nature is, because it's so pretty!
This is a 90-minute hippie lecture saying, "Corporate farms are bad. Learn to live with mother earth, kumbaya!" The sheer First World privilege of this couple is amazing, creating what is essentially a massive flower garden and calling it a farm.
The cinematography of the plants and animals is very good, but not moreso than what you can see on the Nature Channel at any time of the day or night.
If you want to marvel at nature being pretty, not learn anything, and believe that you are the most wonderful person in the world because you purchase free-range eggs, then this is the film for you. 3 years 7 months ago
